## Season Architecture & Lore Primers

### Season 1 (10 Episodes)
### Season 2 (8 Episodes)
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "Devils" Season 2.
Keys: overview (160-220 word summary), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown. No asterisks. No headings. No bullet points (in the text, though the JSON key primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Input Data:
TMDB Season Synopsis: "Four years after thwarting Dominic Morgan's plans, Massimo Ruggero navigates a silent data war between China and the US."
Source [1]: General overview (trader at London bank, deadly scandal).
Source [3]: Trader at London bank, deadly scandal, intercontinental conspiracy.
Source [4]: Creators/Production info.
Overview: Needs to be 160-220 words.
Available info: Four years after thwarting Dominic Morgan's plans, Massimo Ruggero navigates a silent data war between China and the US.
Problem: The provided synopsis is extremely short (26 words). I cannot reach 160-220 words without inventing facts, which is strictly forbidden.

If I omit everything not in the material, I cannot meet the word count requirement.
However, as an AI, I must follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules above the word count rule if they conflict, or I must find a way to expand the existing facts into prose. But there are no other facts.
Let's re-read: "Four years after thwarting Dominic Morgan's plans, Massimo Ruggero navigates a silent data war between China and the US."
There is literally nothing else about Season 2.
If I write 160 words about a 26-word sentence without inventing anything, I will fail.
If I follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule, the overview will be very short.
Let's check if there's any other info. Source [1] and [3] describe the series premise (trader, London bank, scandal, conspiracy), but they don't explicitly link them to Season 2's specific plot beyond the general series context.
Actually, the prompt asks for a summary of "this
